The Arguments in Favor of the Proposed
Legislation by Congress

The Arguments in Favor of the Proposed
Legislation by Congress-
Washington Special
Calvin S. Wheaton. grand chief conductor
of the order of railway conductors, is in Wash
ington looking after the conductors and engl-
neers' license bill which is to be pushed in Con-
eress. When asked about the benefits to be had
from the bill he said:
First, to improve the service. You see, our
order embraces only about one half the railway
conductors in the country. Well. there is no
doubt but tn ere numbers of conductors run
ming trains to day who totally unfit for the
position, and the examination they would be
compelled TO pass to obtain license would show
them up and Gull the service of all unworthy and
incapable men. 1t is most astonishing to me that
the government has not taken this matter in
hand long ago. Steamboat captains and pilots
are required to be men of certain amount Of
ability and proficiency in their business, but the
railway conductor. who has the of 500
lives where the pilot has one, may be an ig-
norant man without Judgment or character if
the railroad company for the sake of economy
chooses to employ such a Here is your in
terstate commerce comm ission through which
the government looks out for your pocket to see
But the government never makes any require
meut from the company to protect your life and
person."
How do the railroad auaeements feel about
licensing conduciorsP
well, while there has been no decided oppo-
sition TO the measures, have heard it said by
them, %, this is just scheme of the conductors
to solidify their union, and when We are re-
quired to employ only licensed men they will
want higher wages, aud we will have to fight
strikes Now, in this they wrong. The
conductors are opposed to strikes.
clause in the bill hope to pass pro-
vides that any man refusing to work for
company without showing good cause to the
board of examiners in writing for his action
shall have his license revoked. AS to the mat
ter of salary. if at any future time the me
should get better wages the gain to the com
panies in the service rendered would be IL great
ratio, No, think that the whole the rail-
roads will favor the bill. Anyhow, have heard
nothing to the effect that they will fight it."

To Save Life

Frequently requires prompt action. An
hours delay waiting for the doctor may
be attended with serious consequences,
especially in cases of Group, Pneumonia,
and other throat and lung troubles.
Hence, no family should be without a
bottle of Ayers Cherry Pectorai,
which has proved itself, in thousands OF
cases, the best Emergency Medicine
ever discovered. 1t gives prompt relief
and prepares the way for a thorough
cure, which is certain to be effected by
it's continued use.
S. III. Latimer, NJ. D., Mt. Vernon,
Ga, says: :" I have found Ayers Cherry
Pectoral perfect cure for Group in all
cases. I have known the worst cases
relieved in very short time by its use;
and / advise all families to use it in sud-
den emergencies, for coughs, Group, &C."
A. J. Edison, NJ. D.. Middletown,
Tenn, says: Il have used Ayers
Cherry Pectoral with the best effect in
my practice. This wonderful prepare
ton once saved my life. I had a con-
slant cough, night sweats, was greatly
reduced in flesh, and given up by my
physician. One bottle and half of the
Pectoral cured me-"

Report Involving the Conduct of the Coald ale
PostOfice Early in the War.
Washington Special
The following correspondence in regard to an
Ohio postofice explains itself. The interval of
twentysix years between the letter and the re-
port upon it is somewhat unusual interval.
General MARYLAND, who now makes the report,
was a special agent of the department in 1861,
who went into the field to manage the military
mails, and he did not have a good chance to
bring up his official correspondence In this
spect the war has just ended so far as the Post
Office Department Is concerned. Most of those
prominently identified with the postal service at
the time of the Coaldale letter was written are
dead:

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2L-Washington social

parties are Miss Bessie Hillyer and Mr.. G. G..

engagement mad been made in the papers. Mr..
Trenholm has been coming to Washington reg

BRAZIL, Dec. 2I-A sensational SO. 900 dam
age suit has been filed in the Vigo Circuit Court
against VIM. H. Holmes, his son Marion
Holmes, and Squire Francis Cooper, by Miss
Ella Tucker, all the parties being of Lost Creek
township, near the Clay county line. A few
months since Constable VIM. Brinton summoned
Miss Tucker before Squire Cooper as witness
in misdemeanor case. When she arrived be-
fore the Squire she found there first cousin
Marion Holmes, importunate but rejected
sutton for her hand and was informed that she
was then and there to be united to him in mar
riage. The marriage was accordingly per-
formed, though against her wish. and through
intimidation she claims. and she accompanied
her husband and his father to their home She
escaped after two days and applied to Judge
Mack for divorce He decided that the mar
riage of first cousins was illegal and cannot be
recognized according to the laws of the State,
and that the marriage void Brinton, the
constable kidnaper who acted on fraudulent
summons was subsequently arraigned for his
crime but the jury hung a verdict. The
families of both parties old citizens and well
respected, and the suit is likely to develop con-
siderable interest.

White Caps Capture a Newspaper.
,recial to the Indianapoiie JonrnsL

BRAZIL, Dec. 21.-The failure of the State
authorities to prosecute the White Caps, or
night riders, of Harrison and adjoining coun-
ties, is mainly responsible for the appearance of
the disorder in various parts of the State. 1t
seems the spirit is abroad at Clay City, i'll the
south end of the county, where these selfap
pointed avengers of the law and correctors of
derelct citizens seem to have captured the local
paper. Some time since a certain man was
warned through the paper to desist paying more
attention to a female of the village than to his
wife and children. The warning doubtless had
its effect. nothing more has been heard of the
affair The last issue of the paper warns one
Lee Hammond against sponging off his aged
mother-in-laws pittance of a pension. and to go
to work like other men and earn honest liv-
ing. The warning is signed '.NIany Citizens %
